Chapter 506: The Origin of Ten Million Compensation
"Akito, this is **** my shogunate," Tokugawa Iemitsu gritted his teeth, but his eyes were looking at the unknown ahead. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "My Tokugawa family started from Suruga, and after decades of conquest by generations of family heads and retainers, it was only after decades of conquest that they unified the troubled times and commanded the whole country. ”
The Tokugawa family slammed the table, "This pavilion must not let the name of the Tokugawa family be disgraced in my hands." ”
Sakai Tadashi and Matsudaira Nobutsuna glanced at each other, and they both felt extremely helpless, needless to say, the conditions of the Akito were extremely harsh, but it was the first time to come into contact, and it has always been very demanding, but they must be able to talk, and it is impossible to stay the same.
They can understand Iemitsu's feelings, the Tokugawa family's genealogy and retainers have all tried their best to assist the Tokugawa family's successive governors from the time of the Suruga Matsudaira family, step by step out of Suruga, control Sagami Musashi and other places, and finally dominate the world.
In fact, they also value the reputation of the Tokugawa family very much, but the current situation cannot be solved by will, and they must find a way to let the Akito withdraw from the army.
Maybe it was because he saw the hesitation of the two, Jiaguang explained two sentences,
"If the naval armies of the daimyo in various places can inflict heavy losses on the sailors of the Ming people, then the Ming people's future road will be worried, and the army's heart will be shaken, if the reinforcements take advantage of the situation to counterattack, a big victory can be expected, but they will not be able to win a big victory, and the Ming army will also be eager to retreat, and then it will be the time for them to beg my shogunate."
When the two of them heard this, they sighed in their hearts that it was really funny that the once powerful shogunate had to rely on this illusory hope.
They didn't think about the defeat of the navy, looking at the record of the navy, they felt that there was no bottom, did the navy win, it was too slim hope.
But what else can they say about the angry generals who act like this.
"General, the rice grain in the city is to support the rest of the month, and the teams that smuggled rice and grain several times were intercepted by the Ming. Can only smuggle some by sea, but too little, it doesn't help, there have been two riots in the city to grab rice, this... ”
Matsudaira Nobutsuna's words are clear that Edo Castle will not last long. If you continue like this, if you don't need to be attacked by the Akito, Edo will have to collapse internally.
"Familiar with the samurai standing and the common people, the siege will be lifted in half a month."
Tokugawa Iemitsu said, in fact, his heart was extremely bottomless, but he could only pray for the protection of God and Buddha.
Yes, what else can I say, the two of them shut up, let's stay up.
Time passed, and more than ten days passed in a flash. There were dozens of lootings and rice riots in Edo Castle, and the city had already begun to starve to death, and it was better to fight than starve to death, which was the reason for so many riots.
Thanks to the fact that this is Edo, the samurai have many families and can hold on, but no one knows how long they will last.
Tokugawa Iemitsu now has a violent temper every day, and a small surname and three maids have been inexplicably executed by his order.
Tokugawa Yoshinobu in the east is still traveling at a speed of ten miles a day. It's better to say it's a march, it's an outing. That's really one step at a time, one step at a time.
Now that I have just entered the Owari Domain, I have joined up with Tokugawa Yoshinao, who has escaped life, and I think that this is the time to reach the Owari Domain, and it is a full-speed march that is now unblocked. I can't get there before Edo runs out of food.
In other words, there is no need to think about this way, it is more of a thought, but fortunately, as long as these more than 40,000 troops exist, the Tokugawa family is still the Japanese general of Zhengyi.
Now the shogunate is waiting for news of the navy from Tokugawa Iemitsu downward, and it can be said that this is the last hope of the shogunate.
But the day came the bad news. A fleet consisting of dozens of daimyo from the Satsuma Domain, Tosa Domain, Hinata, Awa, Bunzen, Bungo, Bizen, Binchu, and Bigo, as well as more than 300 Sekifune Kohayfunes and other ships gathered by the Nagasaki Commission, was discovered and destroyed by the Daming fleet in Sagami Bay.
In the battle, 300 ships were damaged, more than 8,000 were killed, more than 4,000 were captured, and the general of the Satsuma Navy, the Tsushima Domain, and the Tosa Domain.
This fleet sailed through the Seto Inland Sea, evading the detection of the Ming army's patrol ships, and at the same time lurking day and night until the Izu Peninsula lurked and waited.
The general of this sailor is the commander of the sailor of the Satsuma Domain. He believed that if they fought against the Ming army's sailors, they would have no chance, so the only way to do this was to suddenly attack the port of Kamakura and burn down the Ming army's fleet.
Hence this slow and painful voyage.
It's a pity that when they sailed out of Izu, they were discovered by the Breaker Army's sailors.
Their purpose is very clear, do you see any sneaking to fight, they must be trying to sneak attack the base camp of the Kamakura Breaking Army Naval Division.
Therefore, Li Hu summoned almost all the main warships to block, and the Lianjie of the cavalry infantry army in the Wa Kingdom stimulated the sailors who have never been very harmonious with the synchronization team, well, the infantry army is so brave and good at fighting, in the future, in the Zhao Lord, whether the infantry team has become the most concerned by adults.
Just when Li Hu, Qi Wei and the others were depressed, this fleet was sent to the door, and the soldiers of the naval division were ecstatic.
When the Japanese fleet reached the northern part of Sagami Bay, it was suddenly attacked by more than 100 Galen warships of the Ming people.
This battle was short but not intense, and this naval battle was different from the previous naval battle in which the Broken Army and Naval Division suffered great losses, at that time, it was the Broken Army that took the initiative to seek battle, wanting to annihilate the main force of the Japanese Naval Division in one fell swoop, and clear the way for the Ming soldiers to land on the Japanese State.
Therefore, there were times when they could not dodge, and they could only fight, and they were burned by the fireships of the shogunate sailors and destroyed more than ten Nanban warships.
But this time, the Broken Army Sailor who had no worries had no other worries, and still left the old way of striking and leaving, never giving the Japanese Sailor a chance to get close to the melee fire, that is, to use artillery to solve the problem.
Therefore, under the blow of three such blows and departures of the naval division of the broken army, the naval division of the Japanese suffered heavy losses, so the entire formation collapsed, and all the warships fled.
The Breaker Army Sailor is just chasing and killing in the back.
For more than half a day, Sagami Bay became another slaughterhouse, with corpses and broken boats covering the northern part of Sagami Bay and drifting along with the currents.
At this point, the victory of the sailor has completely come to naught.
After Tokugawa Iemitsu received the news, he sat behind the desk for half an hour without saying a word, just staring blankly at the empty wall opposite and speechless.
At this time, whoever called him, the general of the Japanese national conquest, the actual controller of Japan, ignored him.
It wasn't until Sakai Tadashi summoned the Kasuga Bureau, the nurse of the Iemitsu in the Oku, and the Kasuga Bureau called Iemitsu, that Iemitsu came to his senses, and then Iemitsu cried bitterly, and he knew that the prestige of the Tokugawa family was lost in his hands,
He will also be nailed to the pillar of shame by future generations, and all the history books will make him a sinner of the Japanese state and the Tokugawa family.
Sakai Tadashi and Matsudaira Nobutsuna are also sad, after all, the current situation of the shogunate is also formed with their assistance, and if the family is not good, they will not be happy.
If later generations evaluate Jiaguang as a mediocre lord who is happy with great achievements, then these old people who assist Jiaguang must also be the biggest criminals.
Sakai Tadashi once again went out of the city and came to the south gate, this time Sakai Tadashi seemed to be a few years older, and people in their sixties had gray hair in a few days.
And this time his guards are also miserable and miserable, and there is no trace of pride, the great victory of the Ming people's water infantry army has knocked out the contempt of the Ming Dynasty from the upper to the lower middle and lower levels of the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, countless temples and villages were burned down, hundreds of thousands of people became homeless, and the notoriety of the fierce gods of the Broken Army spread throughout the land of the Wa Kingdom.
After the war, the Japanese state mentioned that the Broken Army changed color, and today's samurai no longer have the arrogance and contempt of Wen Lu Qingchang in the face of the Broken Army, and they are only frightened.
They felt that the Ming people had completely changed, and they had changed their softer temperament since the Song Dynasty, as if they had returned to the flamboyant and fearless nature of the Tang Dynasty.
This time, Zhao Li'an sat behind the desk and accepted Sakai Tadashi's bowing ceremony, which was the surrender of the defeated to the victor.
"Lord Zhao of the Ming Kingdom, in order to prevent more people from being involved in the war, so that they can return to their homes and farm, I hope that you and I can reach a peace agreement, and the Ming army can withdraw from the territory of Japan."
Sakai Tadashi prostrated to the ground.
Zhao Lie didn't bother to pay attention to Sakai Tadashi's words, any sympathy for the people, it was all nonsense to cover his face, and it was not because of the defeat of the Shuibu Army and the rule of the shogunate was already stormy, so he bowed his head and gave in.
Of course, Zhao Lie didn't want the Wa State to fall into large-scale civil strife at this time, because he needed the Wa State's market and the Wa State to transfuse his finances, after all, the war in the Central Plains would be scorching in the next ten years, and I am afraid that the amount of silver needed would be huge, and the maritime trade routes of the Wa State were urgently needed by Zhao Lie.
Don't think that the trade of salt goods and the fact that Beihua has become a big granary will greatly improve the finances of the Broken Army, which is destined to enter the Central Plains, and the money and grain needed to reorganize the broken mountains and rivers ravaged by the Jiannu and the rebel army may be described as massive.
Therefore, at this time, Zhao Lie could only stop in moderation, leaving the shogunate to maintain the basic stability of the situation of the Wa State, if the shogunate was destroyed and the Warring States fought for power returned to the Wa State, then the prosperous commerce of the Wa State would be destroyed in one fell swoop, and the maritime trade routes would wither.
This is extremely detrimental to the Breakers.
"Sakai-sama, the terms of the armistice have already been agreed upon last time, and it seems that General Tokugawa Iemitsu has approved it, which is good."
Zhao Lie said with a smile, he deliberately mentioned Sakai Tadashi, we talked about it last time, of course, Zhao Lie also knew such harsh conditions, and the Japanese would not agree.
"Lord Ming Guo said with a smile," Sakai Tadashi hurriedly said, "There is no problem in restoring the sea trade of the Ming merchants to ensure their safety, but the compensation of tens of millions of silver is not even the accumulation of twenty Chinese New Year's Eve years by the shogunate, and Lord Zhao is expected to reduce, please." ”
Sakai Tadashi's old waist was tempered again.
"The figure of tens of millions of silver is not blackmailing you and others, nor is it made up out of thin air, it is all based on evidence, since Lord Sakai is sincere today, I will tell you about it."
Sakai Tadashi looked at Zhao Lie in surprise, in fact, Zhao Lie said that tens of millions of silver judgments, both sides just have a number in their hearts, and then just drop this number, but Zhao Lie has to talk about this number, then Sakai Tadashi has to listen to how this astronomical number came about.
